Brothels

The Pussycat Saloon

Simones De Paris

The Villa Joy

Winnemucca's brothel district is know as,
'The Line'. The Line is located in what was
downtown Winnemucca, a block from the True
Value Hardware store and behind the Value-Inn
Motel, unlike the Carson City and Reno area brothels which are located away from
populated areas next to automobile junk yards.
There are no gates to be buzzed through,
but the Line is in a fenced in, cul-de-sac
area with only one entrance. Each of the
individual brothels looks like a smallish
'house' from the 20's or 30's. With the exception
of the Pussycat Saloon, which looks like
it's namesake, a saloon, it was the largest
brothel until the Villa Joy added on the
Paradise Cafe, the other four 'houses' are
pretty small. Most of the bar-parlors are
the size of a small living room, with a capacity
for about a dozen people.

In the common 'courtyard-parking lot',
each
of the houses has picture windows that
the
ladies can look out of and prospective
customers
can look into. The Pussycat Saloon
is on
one side of the courtyard. Three of
the houses
are on the other side, with the fourth
house,
Penny's Corner Bar, anchoring the end.
A
quick scan from the courtyard area
into the
parlor windows, will let the customer
see
which ladies interests him, before
entering.
The exception is the Villa Joy, which
was
remodeled and only has a small window.
The
customer has to actually go in to check
out
the action within. The Paradise Cafe,
a strip
club, which is attached to the Villa
Joy
has it's own entrance, but unless it's
really
busy, the door is locked and entry
must be
made through the Villa Joy.

Currently, Penny's Corner Bar is being remodeled
and I was told new wiring and other safety
code improvements were being made. It has
the 'communal' hot tub room, which is surprisingly
nice, when it is available for use. I don't
know if it's true, but I was told that all
the houses are owned by a single entity,
but each house has a co-owner who actually
manages or runs their house. That's why the
ladies can take their customers to the other
house's communal hot tub or Jacuzzi.

The first house I go into is the Pussycat
Saloon. It's laid out like an olde
tyme cowboy
bar you'd see in a western movie. The
long
wood bar is aged and weathered from
what
looks like a century of use. According
to
the photocopied house menus they have
scattered
on the bar top, the Pussycat Saloon
has been
around since 1869, looking around,
I can
believe it.

There's a recently installed 'stage' of sorts,
it's a small raised area by the front window
with what looks like a one inch galvanized
water pipe crudely attached to the stage
floor and the ceiling. I've seen the ladies
spinning on it and watched the lateral deflection
when they put their full weight on this jerry-rigged
pole. I'm convinced that it's going to shear
from the mounts some day and the centrifugal
force, will send the gal hanging onto it,
into the parlor or out the window. There
are two round poker tables with chairs around
them. A low partition separates the bar from
the back, non-customer area, which leads
to the kitchen. When the girls are there,
they can sit and relax and eat, that means
they're not available. But they still can
watch the parlor and come back on duty if
they see a potential customer they'd like
to hook up with.

When I walked in, the bartender (all
the
bartenders in the houses are women),
announces,
"OK ladies let's lineup".
I sputter
that it's not necessary; I can see
the four
available ladies without a line-up.
She tells
me that it's customary to introduce
the ladies.
The four ladies dutifully line up.
There
are two blondes, a cheerful attractive,
black
woman and a Hispanic looking woman.
The lineups
in my limited experience over the last
two
years (total of four visits) have been
hit
or miss. Just as a general rule the
ladies
that I've found working in the Winnemucca
houses have been more 'mature' than
the ladies
in the Reno-Carson City Houses. I decide
to leave the Pussycat Saloon and wander
across
to the Simone De Paris.

Simone's De Paris is pretty representative
of the other houses. Its main claim
to fame
is that it has the only available Jacuzzi
room in the Line. Their parlor is kinda
_]
shaped, with room for about a dozen
people.
Last week, they had four ladies available.
A pretty young twenty something, rubenesque,
'redhead' named Angel. There was also
a petite
black lady named Coco and another more
'mature'
lady who said she was a redhead over
the
CB Radio (I would have just called
it brownish
colored...) and another 'mature' lady
who
said she was part Amerasian. She had
some
exotic name that is hard to remember...so
I didn't. But she was hella' kewl to
talk
to...all these ladies were. This lady
told
me she has a low paying, 'straight'
job and
supplemented her income as a working
girl
by putting in 4 to 5 hour shifts a
couple
times a week. Angel the redhead was
doing
her best to entice truckers on the
CB Radio,
which is a fixture in all the houses.
Some
trucker was asking if there were any
Asian
ladies in any of the houses who did
anal.
He sounded like a butthead, so the
girls
sassed him. Over the CB another gal
was casting
her verbal lure to the truckers; she
was
funny and sassy. "Come on in to
the
Paradise Cafe boys. We got free hot
showers.
Free hot coffee. Some reaally H-O-W-T-T-T
ladies, and COLD beer. We've got a
parking
lot to park your truck overnight and
a place
to put your big rig too...ohhhh!"
(Then
she gave the directions from the interstate
on how to get there). Like a moth going
to
a flame, I got my ass up and went next
door
to meet this sassy lady. I asked who
that
was on the CB radio. Angel looked up
and
said, that's Desiree next door.

The Villa Joy, in comparison to places
like,
the OBR, Kitty's or even the Moonlite,
is
itty-bitty. The "parlor-bar"
(it's
more bar than parlor) area, might hold
about
a dozen people before you have to worry
about
your deodorant...or theirs. There are
8-9
barstools and a loveseat for seating
in the
'main' area. From the bar to the front
door
is about 8-10 feet and the length of
the
room is about 15-18 feet. So we're
talking
small here. But...they've added a looong
rectangular addition to the house,
to what
used to be a vacant lot, that's why
the Villa
Joy was closed for two years. They
call this
the Paradise Cafe.

The Paradise Cafe is about the same
width
as the Villa Joy's bar area, but it's
three
or four times as long, you gotta pay
a $
5.00 cover charge to get in, and they
only
open up for biz when there are at least
three
paying customers, otherwise you have
to sit
in the bar until two other guys want
to see
the show. The front portion has an
adult
'toy store' with an assortment of dildos,
vibrators, condoms, etc. for sale,
a few
feet away, there's a small rack of
XXX videos
for sale. Nothing new so far right,
most
of the houses have the same?

The Paradise is
also a Strip Club complete with a DJ
hosting
the show. There are two available stages
for the girls, a primary stage and
a smaller
stage, (remember it's a small space
to begin
with, so you get to be up close and
personal
with the dancers on both stages). Up
front,
next to the toy store is a 'private'
curtained
booth is set up for personal lap dances
and
in the back of this long room, behind
the
main stage is a VIP booth area.
